South African rapper AKA is unhappy with house superstar Black Coffee over a comment he made on Twitter.
Black Coffee said:
Now that's hip hop….not this nonsense some of our local hip hop artists do…some even attacking tweeps…Put in a song..We want MUSIC ?

AKA was not going to let it slide and he came out with an expletive ridden bunch of tweets going in on Black Coffee:
Black Coffee has some fucking nerve telling us what Hip Hop is and isn't.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) July 26, 2015
What local rappers have to do with Drake's song …. I have no idea. What I do know is Black Coffee can't tell me a fucking thing about rap.

and
If it was Amu or Tumi or Jabba or whoever lecturing us …. Fine, by all means. But lanes …. Stay in them.

The rant continued with…
I respect Black Coffee and his legendary status etc …. But you're crazy if you think I'm gonna let him piss on SA Hip Hop.
— AKA (@akaworldwide) July 26, 2015
Black Coffee then responded with
Hip Hop is MUSIC
Being arrogant has nothing to do with MUSIC
Being humble has nothing to Do with any Genre of Music you Do.BE HUMBLE

Our verdict?
Well Black Coffee voiced an opinion much like anyone would. He said some local rappers not all local rappers so there are of course others who are doing well.
AKA exercised his right to defend the genre but to say that he should not have a right to comment on hip hop because he does not do hip hop is wide off the mark. Black Coffee’s contribution to entertainment is not confined to his genre. His success is for the whole industry. Not to say everything he says must be taken on board but that he should not be allowed to say it is kinda weird.
It is what it is.
